Corruption or rasuah (Latin: corruptio of meaningful verb corrumpere rotten, corrupt, destabilizing, twisting, bribing) is the actions of public officials, politicians and civil servants, as well as other parties involved in the action which is unnatural and not legal abuse the public trust that authorizes them to gain unilateral advantage.

Corruption can occur on many different scales. There is corruption that
occurs as small favours between a small number of people (petty
corruption), while there is the corruption that affects the government
on a large scale (grand corruption), and corruption that is so prevalent
that it is part of the every day structure of society. "Petty" corruption occurs at a smaller scale and occurs within established social frameworks and governing norms. Examples include the exchange of small improper gifts or use of personal connections to obtain favors. This form of corruption is particularly common in developing countries and where public servants are significantly underpaid.
"Grand" corruption is defined as corruption occurring at the highest levels of government in a way that requires significant subversion of the political, legal and economic systems. Such corruption is commonly found in countries with authoritarian or dictatorial governments and in those without adequate policing of corruption by anti-corruption agencies.

Corruption case is extraordinary crime, so to decrease that case we have to give hard punishment to the corruptor. And one of the hard punishment is capital punishment or death penalty. Capital punishment or the death penalty is a legal process whereby a person is put to death by the state as a punishment for a crime. The judicial decree that someone be punished in this manner is a death sentence, while the actual process of killing the person is an execution. Crimes that can result in a death penalty are known as capital crimes or capital offences. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment)
Benefit of capital punishment :
1. Decrease corruption case
2. People obey to the law
3. People would be fear doing criminals
4. Shows that the government law is decisive
5. The suspect can't run from the punishment
6. Responsible for what he/she did
7. It decreases the prisoner population which saves even more taxpayers money
Disadventage of capital punishment :
1. Against human right
2. It takes human life
3. It's cruel
4. If there's a mistake, they can't give back his/her life
5. The government become arbitrary
6. There will be a lots of conspiration
I think the capital punishment is bad solution to punish the criminal, so I disagree if the capital punisment will be enforced in my country. Because, It againsts human right and life is so precious, we can't buy a life with money. So, We can find other way to punish the criminal, the other way are the government has to make a regulation to punish the criminal or the corruptor jailed in the prison with a long time and take all his/her wealth.
So, that is my opinion, I hope in the future the corruption case will vanish in my country, Indonesia.
